Flower Power: Part II

"If you love a flower, don't pick it or it will die.
Love is about appreciation, not possession!"

If love is not about possession, then why do those stupid candy hearts say, "Be mine"? Why do you say, "This is MY boyfriend"? Is your significant other not yours? Or is he/she?

And what if you don't pick the flower, but grow it in a pot inside your home? You still possess it. And you probably appreciate it. After all, it is turning your worthless, poisonous, exhaled gasses into something useful.

All flowers are beautiful when they first bloom. But all flowers are going to die, regardless of whether or not you pick them. Would you rather them die outside from the heartless winter, or inside, snuggled safely inside a vase?

But this graffitier probably is an expert. So, if you love someone, don't buy them a bouquet of roses. Just buy them a rose bush. Because I'm sure your lover wants to deal with watering a thorny little bitch plant everyday.
